“There is no such thing as experience of reality, only reality is…” “By Knowing what we are Not we are Free of it…” “You are not thinking you are being thought….” Try saying it out loud and see if it feels true. “I am Neither Speaking or Listening…” is one of the pointings I use. “When I know I am nothing that is Wisdom, When I know I am everything, that is Love and between the two my life moves”… Source: “Meditations With Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj” by Suresh Mehta Just ‘TO BE’ and to remain steady with the awareness ‘I AM’ is the beginning and end of spiritual practice. Do not visualize any deity, or chant any name. Remain aware of pure consciousness without words till you forget yourself while still awake. I am self-illumined, pure consciousness’. After waking up and before going to bed, meditate for half an hour. Meditation: For purification of the mind, dhyana or meditation, is the best practice.
This leads to dissolution of the mind and results in a state of samadhi (yogic inner trance)… Since mind and breath are closely related, prana – the life force, is thus purified. A mantra is usually given during the initiation of a seeker. For some people this is the best practice.Ĭhanting: Silently reciting the name of a chosen deity, or a mantra (secret set of words given by a Guru), while paying attention to the breath. Worldly thoughts are at abeyance at such time. There is no need to listen once the change is complete.īhajans: The chitta (inner mind) is purified by the words and singing of devotional songs. Arjuna listened carefully even while fighting a war, and was liberated. This is exemplified in the dialog between Sri Krishna and Arjuna as described in the Gita. Listening: Paying close attention to the teaching of the Sadguru invariably brings change. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj explained sadhana, spiritual practice, as follows: What remains is pure non-volitional ‘being lived’…” Once it is understood, or rather, apperceived intuitively, that an entity is purely a conceptual notion, what remains is merely a re-integration - Yoga - in universality… Who is to do Sadhana and for what purpose? Is it not enough to see the false as false? The entity that you think you are is false. “…doing Sadhana means assuming the existence of a phantom. I have the very deepest gratitude for Nisargadatta Maharaj…
